| 608812 | OMIM | Colorectal cancer 1 (CRCS1) | A complex disease characterized by malignant lesions arising from the inner wall of the large intestine (the colon) and the rectum. Genetic alterations are often associated with progression from premalignant lesion (adenoma) to invasive adenocarcinoma. Risk factors for cancer of the colon and rectum include colon polyps, long-standing ulcerative colitis, and genetic family history. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. The role of GALNT12 in colon cancer susceptibility is however subject to discussion: studies on 103 probants with colorectal cancer 1 (CRCS1) suggest that it does not act as a major contributor of CRCS1 (PubMed:24115450). |
